ABSTRACT:
An exercising apparatus for developing an exerciser's calf muscles via Donkey Raises, said apparatus comprising: an upright front post means to support a horizontal linking means which is pivotally mounted on a horizontal member attached to said front post means; said horizontal linking means extending away from said front post means for a distance of about the length of an exerciser's head, neck and body trunk, in other words, from his head to about his upper ham string muscle; said linking means also being supported on its extended end by a leg means for safety and when at rest; a force resistence means attached to said extended end; said force resistence means having a substantially horizontal press member so that when he uses said apparatus, he squats and bends the trunk of his body forward to assume a donkey-like pose, said press member being positioned just above said exerciser's bent lower back. The apparatus is also equipped with a forearm support means, associated with said front post means, where he places his forearms for support of his trunk and for leverage. The exerciser then contacts the press with his lower back and exerts an upwardly directed force against said press and said force resistence means, and may then exert, periodically, an additional upwardly directed force against said press by flexing his calf muscles, raising his heels, and raising to his toes like a ballet dancer.
